The population, including children, is so traumatised. In the UK when young children hear or see a plane they point excitedly at it. In Burma when young children hear a plane they cry and shake with fear. My speech at the launch of Testimonies From Beyond.

Burmaโ€™s earthquake has been exploited by the Burmese military By Mark Farmaner The earthquake which struck Burma on 28th March 2025 has been anything but a disaster for the Burmese military. Instead, they have swiftly exploited the earthquake for their own be...

Min Aung Hlaing, head of the Burmese military, was quick to exploit the earthquake to seek the international legitimacy he craves.

We need more aid, and we need less red tape. Given the massive scale of the humanitarian crisis in Burma, with more than 5 million people displaced, we urgently need a massive influx of aid across the country, especially in areas freed from Burmese military control.

Governments and agencies wishing to help the people of Burma following the earthquake must understand that there are multiple administrations in the country as people resist Burmese military occupation. Assistance should not be limited only to Burmese military occupied areas.

Not the first time a UN Envoy to Myanmar has had to face questions about their business interests, or faced other controversies. The role is ineffective anyway, and should be abolished.

Donors and humanitarian organisations could be doing much more, including being more flexible, understanding and creative when working with local groups who are trying to protect and support civilians, starkly asserting that red tape is โ€˜killing peopleโ€™.
